Oh snap!

Im in there. LETS GO!

xHeavYx4054d ago

You son of a.... I mean, congrats =D

Christopher4054d ago

Funny thing... it was a forum post that got him the prize. First time that's happened in ages. Guess that means it's another two years or so until another forum user wins one of these.

xHeavYx4054d ago

If the winning post was about him arguing with me, I demand half the prize!

Christopher4054d ago

It was one of those Baltimore posts of his, actually.

I dont know how you guys choose the winners, there were some great reviews and blogs this month. I probably couldnt make a choice myself.

Christopher4054d ago

Why do you think it took so long?

Crazyglues4054d ago (Edited 4054d ago )

@ Concertoine, I know right?

LoL... I'm still laughing over the fact that I submitted 13 blogs and lost... I thought for sure one of them would have won, especially since 2 of them had over 40 comments..

-But I guess my mistake was I was trying to make them interesting and easy to read, but I should have just made them long.

Congrats to those who did win!

rambi804054d ago

SOme people use the technique of writing small blogs along a similar theme and titling them Part 1, part 2 etc. That way, a three parter is considered as one large article for consideration. i think this strategy could prove useful to you. Just my 2 cents.

Christopher4054d ago

Three of yours were in the runner up list of blogs. I think there were 10 total in that overall collection.

Concertoine4054d ago

I actually wouldn't recommend that. I think the ability to be concise is worth something too. Trying to hit a quota can make you seem garrulous and muddle whatever you're trying to say.

I like how your blogs got people talking and sharing personal experience, i think that's what made them stand out. I think making a couple really solid blogs focusing on that strength would increase your chances.

Just my 2 cents, as if they matter haha.

rambi804054d ago (Edited 4054d ago )

Thanks for the prize!

Obligatory (but totally insincere) congrats to all the other winners.

Seriously though congrats to everyone and a "better luck next time" to those who wrote some great blogs that didn't win. For what its worth, i enjoyed reading them.

Edit - Prepare yourselves for tons of email spam about fishing for the next two weeks - Synergy!

Gazondaily4054d ago

Ah whaaa?! I won something?! Woooo! I got a ticket notification and thought "oh god what did I do now?" but got a pleasant surprise!

Cheers N4G!

Christopher4054d ago

Don't worry, we've got plenty more reasons to send you tickets ;)

ISHU4054d ago

@Septic

LOL! I thought the same thing when i saw it too XD

Hellsvacancy4052d ago (Edited 4052d ago )

Same thing happened to me a few months back dude, thought I had a restriction, again

TheUpbringer4054d ago

Wow I wasn't sure my review would win something, since it was my first time doing a negative one in a long time. Thanks for the prize!

Christopher4054d ago

While a lot of people disagreed with your review and how harsh it was, it was still well presented. Luckily, we don't award winners based on those who agree with our viewpoints. Unless you're coolbeans, then we totally require that you write well and mimic our viewpoints! *just joking...*

coolbeans4054d ago

*Ignores just joking part*

One step closer to my formula for guaranteed winning.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio73d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing73d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9273d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit73d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing73d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9273d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
